So this is where people can talk to me... yeah, as if anyone will. :P

[edit] action man

(JESUS GOD IN HEAVEN THIS ARTICLE IS HUGE AND REDUNDANT!!!) this is hardly a useful observation. If you have specific areas of concern, why not list them?Hholland 12:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. If you percieve this as containing original research, please illustrate where you feel this is occurring. I have added footnotes, and nothing on this page cannot be found in one of the reference books listed. Hholland 16:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

First of all, new additions to a talk page belong on the bottom, so people can more easily notice the new message. About the Action Man article... it is filled with completely trivial information, way too detailed to be encyclopedic. The vast majority of people who visit that article do NOT go there to find pictures and read physical descriptions of the figure, with accurate measurements of dimensions. However interesting this might be to you, it it redundant and does not belong on Wikipedia. I highly recommend that you request a peer review of the Action Man and G.I. Joe articles. --Ifrit 17:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] bash.org

Wikipedia entry is not a place to try and goad us into modding more quotes. One, the queue has been halved since you started typing propaganda. Two, why not just email me asking to be a mod? Learn the proper channels... Blaxthos 19:35, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

First of all, new entries start at the bottom. Second of all, there is a difference between truth and propaganda. If you didn't noticed, I knew the queue halved and updated the article accordingly. As for me moderating bash... sure, why not, I would be willing to help you out, if it is wanted. --Ifrit 08:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stub template

Hi. A couple of us at WP:WSS are a bit puzzled by some edits like this. Do you recall what stub template was used in that edit? Thanks. Alai 01:23, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I think we worked this out, actually. As you were! Alai 06:40, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that was my first attempt at a stub. Also, since it was near deletion, I figured I'd just clean it up, and try to shape it more like the other CS map articles. I was planning to do more, though. --Ifrit 21:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

Thank you, much appreciated! ^^ Havok (T/C/c) 08:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Du fortjener den. ;) --Ifrit 08:05, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The... vote

Hi Ifrit, would you mind taking a look at the vote for the way we represent articles about consoles and handheld systems? Thank you. Havok (T/C/c) 23:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ifrit

Spelling of your name implies a liking for Final Fantasy, am I right? user:jayteecork

Keen observer of detail, you are. --Ifrit 01:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WPW

Hi! I'd like to have your opinion on what logo to pick for WikiProject Warcraft. --Shandris ^{the azylean} ^cat 12:36, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warcraft AfDs

I would like to redirect you to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warcraft character articles. Could you please voice your opinion on this, as it will sett precedence for what to do with articles like this. Havok (T/C/c) 06:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] D&D wiki project consensus

A call to all members of the D&D wiki project. We are currently having a major dispute that needs to be settled by all members of the D&D wiki project. The dispute is as follows. 1. Should we put disambiguation tags on D&D articles preemptively or should we wait until there is an article conflict with some other Wikipedia article. Vote on preemptive or wait.

2. What should we label these tags? Example "child's play (module)", or "child's play (adventure)" and at this point we are taking all suggestions.

email me at Dm2ortiz@aol.com or post on the D&D wiki project talk page Dm2ortiz 13:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Michael Haugland_stuff

Hi there, and thanks for your message.

I agree that there's little likelihood that that the page User:Michael_Haugland_stuff, but as your brother is new to Wikipedia I'm sure you'd agree that it would be more helpful for him, and to the wider community, that he be taught how to properly create Sandbox pages under his own user pages, rather than randomly creating pages for his contributions (notable or otherwise) - that's why (having realised that he hadn't long been a contributor to these pages) I didn't wade in with warnings and scoldings, but instead took a more softly-softly approach. To come at it from a different angle, surely it's worth tidying this up now rather than having to have someone else come along in a few months or years and try to work out what was going on? Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 18:18, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I haven't heard back from you, so have flagged the page in question with {{tl:db-nouser}} and will leave it at that. Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 20:05, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Murder

I've reverted your recent edit to Murder, as the source was not verifiable. If you can suss out something that is, please let us know.LeadSongDog 16:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Why not verifiable? What the hell does suss mean? Who is "us"? --Ifrit 21:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Raziel01.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Raziel01.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SilentAria ^talk 03:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Raziel02.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Raziel02.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BeholderGBA.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BeholderGBA.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

I have removed the bad fair use rational you added; User:East718 removed the bad rational you added to Image:FR1ModuleCover.jpg and removed them both from use in Beholder. Please do not restore any of this without prior discussion with us. I also posted about this on Talk:Beholder. --Jack Merridew 06:19, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:BeholderGBA.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:BeholderGBA.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I have inserted this image into the page Eye of the Beholder (video game) and have began to add some material there about the game. I plan to add more later. One question, could you please update the fair use rationale at Image:BeholderGBA.jpg to indicate the source of the picture (i.e. is it a scan of the game that you own, did you locate it at some website, and if so, what website?). Thanks. --Craw-daddy | T | 13:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Power Metal Page

It's not about notable. But if we are going to go by that Dragonforce and Pagans Mind should not be listed as the most notable. I don't have a problem listing bands such as Helloween and Hammerfall. But the way it is there are to many bands. Keep it down to the most importent who play it would be better exmaple European/Melodic Power Metal Helloween, Gamma Ray, and Blind Guardian or Hammerfall. They are the most well known and are most importent for European/Meldoic Power Metal. --98.224.211.86 (talk) 22:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Yui frommetoyou.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Yui frommetoyou.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 03:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] If you do work on Babylon 5 pages

I have only recently started watching Babylon 5 and enjoy it very much.

While reading the articles on Babylon 5 that are displayed within the Wikipedia I noticed a lack of factual information contained in many of them. I noticed that fiction based sites like B5tech are referenced a lot but things like B5scrolls are not referenced at all.

I like to know if there is a reason for that?

I have asked others working on Wikipedia Babylon 5 pages same ting today, no to be rude but better chance of getting reply that way :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Minsk59 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Otacon

Didn't mean to mark your comments as vandalism; I had already made the changes before I realized it. However I left it alone since I didn't think putting that in was necessary. Strongsauce (talk) 17:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Metz.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Metz.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BlueAzure (talk) 03:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
